The series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms from the Game of Thrones universe is keenly anticipated because it presents Westeros in such an engaging way through the unlikely friendship between hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, young Targaryen Aegon “Egg”. Episode 6, the conclusion of Season 1 is highly anticipated to feature a lot of compelling emotion, the consequences of the tragic events that took place at the Ashford Tournament, themes surrounding honour, loss, and what it means to be a knight, as well as the raw realism in George R.R. Martin’s Dunk and Egg stories; both will be found after the very exciting end of Episode 5.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 6 Release Date and Finale Details
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is now airing its six-episode first season, adapted by George R. R. Martin from his Dunk and Egg novellas. Episode 5, “In the Name of the Mother,” was released in the US on February 16, 2026, as part of the show’s weekly Sunday rollout on HBO and Max.
The Season 1 finale (Episode 6) is confirmed for February 22, 2026, with an air time of 10:00 PM ET/PT on both platforms. This follows the show’s standard pattern of releasing episodes weekly, except that the scheduling had previously been changed due to the Super Bowl.
Viewers in India can expect to see the Season 1 finale on the HBO service in the early hours of February 23, 2026, as the episode will occur a few hours after it has been aired in the US, due to time zones. Based on the latest drops in Episode 5’s timing, users should expect this episode’s upload to occur between 08:00 and 09:00 AM IST, but this can vary based on the individual uploading the episodes.
Episode 6 marks the Season 1 finale and, as such, is where the Ashford arc concludes.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 6 Expected Story Focus
Although there have been no details released from HBO regarding a true synopsis of the episode, it is suggested by the promotional materials that the events following the tournament at Ashford will be the focus of the episode, specifically, how communities are mourning and emotionally dealing with the decisions from the previous episodes.
The trailers and episode descriptions indicate there will not be a large amount of action in this final episode, instead focusing on heavier emotions like loss, duty, and responsibilities from the past five episodes. The audience will watch as Ser Duncan the Tall wrestles with the heavy weight of recent moral decisions, and also learn of the future of Egg and the state of their relationship moving forward.
Promotional material, like the comment about “The people of Ashford mourn a substantial loss” and the tease of “is this the end of Dunk and Egg,” suggests to viewers that these comments are more about ramping up the emotional stakes of the episode rather than signaling the end of the story. The source material continues past this arc, and because HBO has picked the show up for future seasons, the season finale will have a season finale structure, not a series finale structure.
Season Status and What Comes Next
The first main narrative of the Dunk and Egg tales has been brought to an end with the conclusion of Season 1 in ‘Episode 6’ of ‘Dunk & Egg’, which is regarded as a much more character-driven series and therefore provides a new approach for the ‘Game of Thrones’ franchise.
The second season is under development already, and so it will be assumed that the final episode will be a clean break from where things are left at present to allow for additional adventures of Dunk and Egg beyond this location in future episodes throughout Westeros.
As of now, there are no delays or scheduling changes reported in relation to Season 1 – Episode 6.
